Review: Hemlock (Hemlock #1) by Kathleen Peacock

Goodreads
synopsis:

Mackenzie
and Amy were best friends.

Since then,
Mac's life has been turned upside down. She is being haunted by Amy in her
dreams, and an extremist group called the Trackers has come to Mac's hometown
of Hemlock to hunt down Amy's killer:

A white
werewolf.Lupine
syndrome--also known as the werewolf virus--is on the rise across the country.
Many of the infected try to hide their symptoms, but bloodlust is not easy to
control.

Wanting
desperately to put an end to her nightmares, Mac decides to investigate Amy's
murder herself. She discovers secrets lurking in the shadows of Hemlock,
secrets about Amy's boy-friend, Jason, her good pal Kyle, and especially her
late best friend. Mac is thrown into a maelstrom of violence and betrayal that
puts her life at risk.Review

Jason may
have been Amy’s boyfriend but his heart belongs to someone else. He has managed to keep it a secret from everybody, except Amy, for years and now after loosing his girlfriend and has drunk his sorrow away, he thinks it's time for this someone else to finally know how he feels about her.

“It had
never occurred to me that I could lose Amy twice, but that's what it felt like.
It felt like I was losing her all over again.”

Kyle
finally admits his feelings to Mackenzie and she feels the exact same way. Throughout the book, a storm of emotions can be confined between the two of them. It doesn't end well but Mac isn't ready to give up...yet

“You can't
lose what you never had.”

Amy is dead but not gone and she wasn’t as loyal to Jason as everyone thought she was.

Mackenzie
wants to find who killed Amy so bad that she comes across a terrible truth
about Kyle.

The
Trackers have taken over the town. Amy's killer is somebody everyone knows and he's a big part of Mackenzie's life. Everyone is in danger and nobody is safe.
Especially Mackenzie.
